Weapons

Dragon Age: Inquisition features a wide assortment of Weapons useable by both your character and the many Companions that can join your team. With the exception of Varric's Crossbow, weapons can be used amongst your party, and most any weapon can be equipped as long as the character is the right class and of sufficient level.

You can either purchase weapons from merchants, craft them yourselves using schematics, or find them off enemies or in chests across the land. Most weapon drops - even those in chests, are randomized.

Every weapon can also be customized by using the forge and swapping in different custom parts (that can be bought, found, or crafted) to add unique side-effects to your weapons. These can further enchance the play-style of your characters, making them even better at their roles.
